Abstract | This study investigates the influence of financial distress, profitability, and capital intensity on tax avoidance among companies listed on the Egyptian stock market from 2020 to 2022. Utilizing a quantitative approach, the research analyzes secondary data from 36 firms that maintained profitability during the study period. Tax avoidance is measured using the Current Effective Tax Rate (CETR), while financial distress, profitability, and capital intensity are assessed through the Altman Z-score, Return on Assets (ROA), and capital intensity ratio, respectively. Multiple regression analysis reveals that profitability has a significant negative effect on tax avoidance, suggesting that highly profitable firms are less inclined toward aggressive tax planning. Conversely, financial distress and capital intensity exhibit no significant relationship with tax avoidance, underscoring the context-specific dynamics in an emerging market like Egypt. These findings contribute to the growing body of literature on corporate tax behavior by highlighting the unique determinants of tax avoidance in developing economies. Policymakers are encouraged to consider these insights when designing tax regulations that promote compliance while addressing economic disparities. Future research should expand on these results by incorporating broader datasets and exploring the role of corporate governance and institutional factors in shaping tax strategies |
